## Hardware

v0.3 Schematic and Gerber available now. This revision has been tested on my two TI-99/4As (PAL and NTSC) and my HBC-56 and is fully functional, however it is not representative of the final PCB design which will include the RP2040 directly on the PCB.
There are two main variants of the hardware.

### v1.0 (formerly v0.4)

PICO9918 v1.0 is the single board version which doesn't require a piggy-backed Pi Pico. It is in the process of being manufactured now and is based on v0.4 seen below:

Once I have tested v1.0 and made it available, I will publish the schematics and gerbers for this version.

### v0.3

v0.3 schematic and gerber available now. This revision has been tested on my two TI-99/4As (PAL and NTSC) and my HBC-56 and is fully functional, however it is not representative of the final PCB design which will include the RP2040 directly on the PCB.
